I came across this quote that I wrote out and save

I came across this quote that I wrote out and saved some 15 years ago when I was in the early days of working for myself. Literally digging through a drawer looking for a fresh notepad, I came across it. Coincidence? Probably. Yet how very true it is for these times, for the way I am personally feeling a call to help people shake off feelings of doubt and take on the role they were meant to play in the world. How this quote almost makes me cry right now- when we are in a time of tremendous ‘following’ and I see such shocking lack of individual leadership and instead so much ‘accepting’ and doing ‘what we are told’. If you are feeling that need to blaze your own way, start that business you’ve been looking to launch or just up level your own skills and mindset at work, maybe it’s time for us to chat about one of my executive coaching options. My first business coach helped me to see the forrest for the trees. She, like this quote, reminded me that I have a CHOICE in how I live and operate my business. If you’re feeling stuck, maybe the answer you’re looking for is that you’re ready to ‘leave a trail’ of your own. #entrepreneurlife #executivecoach #sarahbethaubrey #agleadu #elevateag

Facilitating virtual networking has its challenges

Facilitating virtual networking has its challenges, to be sure.

Those spontaneous conversations don’t happen the same way online as they do in a physical space. Business cards are replaced with chat, eye contact is difficult to judge, and distractions abound for each individual.

But networking at a virtual event is possible!

Some attendees might even prefer it.

So how do we re-envision the coffee or cocktail hour for virtual events? How do you #EngineerEngagement?
